225 Huntingdon-Everything has a question to answer in this race.Chestnut Ben was in solid form all last season but now returns after its summer break,if its fully tuned up then it will go well but its got nothing in hand of the handicapper and id be surprised if first time out will see it at its best.

The Last Night has ran 2 absolute stinkers of late and despite being lightly raced,its got something to prove now.

Larteta has only had the one run over fences but will need to find stones of improvement to get involved on the basis of that run.

Giant O Murchu ran poorly when tipped up last time,it has chances at its best but is unreliable.

Saddlers Deal is 1 from 1 here but ran poorly last time,the trainer is 2 from 4 with his chasers at this track but this horse is very inconsistent.

Engai is no handicap good thing but does take a drop in class and has at least put together a strong of decent efforts.

The trainer has won with 2 of his last 4 runners and is 3 from 8 with his chasers here.Its the value in a tricky race.

Back Engai 8pts at 6.0 at various bookies(Accept 5.5)-Fell(-8pts)

515 Huntingdon-One of those ones you probably regret tipping but on my figures,the gap in prices between Rogue Dancer and Orfeo Conti is far too big.

The former is a fair enough favourite,as its been in consistent form and still has some upside to it over fences but it is 13Ib higher than when it won,2 starts back.

Orfeo Conti is getting on now and hasnt won for a while but its posted 2 good efforts lately and those ratings give it every chance in a very weak event.

Ballyvoneen was well beaten on Friday and is a spring horse that excels at Plumpton,it gets neither of those things here.

Flemi Two Toes has chances at its best but has no great record after a break like today.

Abbeygrey is unexposed but has shown very little so far although it would be a worry if the money came for it.

Back Orfeo Conti 8pts at 6.0 at Paddys(Accept 5.0)-3rd(-8pts)2 poor tips to continue a poor start to the month(ST-16pts)
